For some, the Epson Tour is a means to achieve a lifelong dream. For others, it’s a way to return to the peak of women’s golf.
Meet Sara-Maude Juneau, who played a full schedule (15 events) on the LPGA Tour in 2013.
This season, Juneau is playing on the Epson Tour with hopes of a return to the LPGA. Through four events, she ranks 10th on the Volvik Race for the Card money list with on-course earnings of $8,478. The Quebec, Canada native ranks eighth on Tour in scoring average (71.636) and fifth in par-4 average (4.009).
Her best finish this season was a fifth place result at the Florida’s Natural Charity Classic. She used a final-round 3-under 68 to vault up the leaderboard. Juneau has finished outside the top-25 in just one event this season.
In 2012, she finished 10th on the Volvik Race for the Card money list with six top-10 finishes.
Juneau played her college golf at Louisville where she was named All-Big East three years in a row. She also won the Big East Championship as a junior.

I grew up just 20 minutes outside Quebec city but didn't get to go often so I love to go once a year (winter or summer) and act like a tourist. It's such a pretty city with a lot of historical things. | |

It's Pizza Paquet. I try to go every time I am in town. | |
